Written by Burns as a tribute to King Robert the Bruce and William Wallace; two of his heroes, and indeed the whole Scottish Nation. This is Bruce's call to his men before the start of the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Set to the tune "Hey Tuttie Tatie" an age old marching tune from medieval times.Sung regularly at Burns Suppers and many other gatherings of Scots across the world. I have tried to give it some dignity here.
